A cannon fires successively two shells with velocity v_(0) = 250 m//s, the first at the angle therefore= 60^(@) and the second at the angle q_(2) = 45^(@)to the horizontal, the azimuth being the same. Neglecting the air drag, find the time interval between firings leading to the collision of the shells.
